MiRNA profiling by array of human paired adipose tissue (subcutaneous and omentum) before and after gastric-bypass and weight loss
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Objective: Adipose tissue plays a key role in obesity related metabolic dysfunction. MicroRNA (miRNA) are gene regulatory molecules involved in inter-cellular and inter-organ communication. We hypothesised that miRNA levels in adipose tissue would change after gastric bypass surgery and that this would provide insights into their role in obesity-induced metabolic dysregulation. Methods: miRNA-profiling (Affymetrix_Gene-Chip_miRNA2.0_Arrays) of omental and subcutaneous adipose (n=15 females) before, and after, gastric bypass surgery. Results: One omental, and thirteen subcutaneous adipose miRNAs were significantly, differentially expressed after gastric bypass, including down-regulation of miR-223-3p and its antisense relative, miR-223-5p, in both adipose tissues. mRNA levels of miR-223-3p targets NLRP3 and GLUT4 were increased and decreased respectively following gastric bypass in both adipose tissues. Significantly more NLRP3 protein was observed in omental adipose after gastric bypass (P=0.02). Significant hypomethlyation of NLRP3 and hypermethylation of miR-223 was observed in both adipose tissues after gastric bypass. In subcutaneous adipose significant correlations were observed between both miR-223-3p and miR-223-5p and glucose, and between NLRP3 mRNA and protein levels and blood lipids. Conclusions: This is the first report detailing genome-wide miRNA-profiling of omental adipose before and after gastric bypass, and further highlights a link between miR-223-3p and the NLRP3 inflammasome in obesity.
